OK...so, I am not so good at blogging. I am trying to type tonight on Blake's laptop. Forgive me if I am missing letters N H or T cause they are broken...thanks to Eli.
It was a beautiful day...I came home to find the boys jumping on the trampoline and Scott mowing and fertilizing. I went inside, started dinner, started a load of laundry then headed out to join them. We played on the swings, played catch, pulled out last summer's tomato stakes, then noticed that the strawberry plants are starting to grow. So, we pulled all the dried leaves out, uncovering 2 small snakes...but we continued. Oh how we love our homegrown strawberries. Our little patch produces several weeks of berries every year...I am hoping to freeze as many as we can for winter.
This year we are planning to expand our garden again...from about 54 sq ft to maybe twice that size. I read on the Prevention Magazine website that canned tomatoes are one of 20 foods listed that should never cross your lips. The can liners leach BPA because of the acid in tomatoes. We continued to eat the toxic version all winter, but I plan to grow enough to last through next winter. We will just blanch them, slip the skins and freeze in doubled freezer bags. Maybe we will roast some too before freezing them. We will plant peppers and cucumbers, too. Everything else we will get from the Yardley's...they are the professional garderns next door.
The new Enhansa supplement Eli is on...he are at 75 mg / day this week...watching closely for any changes...he seems to be able to walk faster this week...on Sunday he was nearly running. Today we helped Blake get the garden wagon back up the hill...I was pushing the wagon with one hand and holding Eli's hand...he was keeping up and doing very well.
I have adjusted my ALCAT rotation such that I only eat fruit for breakfast...kind of following the fit for life plan in addition to the ALCAT plan. I started it last week...maybe Wed or Thurs...so far I have lost 3 of the 6.5 lbs I gained over December. So, we will see if I can continue with this plan for a while. I am gearing up for the 6 week cleanse plan in Dr. Mark Hyman's book, The UltraMind Solution. I already quit eating gluten and sugar over a year ago...but his plan includes eliminating dairy too...for 6 weeks. I have tried to just reduce my dairy intake, but still eat it everyday...this is going to be tough...but good. I haven't set a start date, yet, but need to do so soon...maybe after Easter.
I will see if I can keep up with this blog better this week than last...should be easier with my laptop...it has all the letters. You can't tell the labor involved in typing this because I corrected all the errors...but his is wha i would look like if I didn'...good nig
